5 Mph The ball is coming in 5 MPH. If a pitcher gets hit chances are high that the batter intentionally hit at him. He is not on the mound throwing curves or heaters so don't tell me a guy does not know where he is swinging. If hitting the middle is your excuse for needing more hr's then its just that IMO, an excuse. The HR rule is for equality. If you want more HR's then move your team up a class or two, swing away. Play in a 0-10 and bid 10, Play in the Music City, find unsanctioned tournaments that allow alot of hr's. It's easy to get on here and gripe about rules, hell I don't agree with all of them. But they were made to try and give teams that don't have as much pop a level playing field. You always have a choice, that's the beauty of multiple associations, etc.
